This video project consists of three video stories presented simultaneously. The first story pictures a blind girl, who is looking for a light by “erasing the black”. The second video represents the artist’s discussion with Robertas Antinis. Finally, the third silent video story shows the motives of daily environment in the form of “sound recording” of the discussion happening in the second video. This project aims to confront the viewer with the following question: “If a blind person can see the world by touching it, can a “sighted” hear it by simply seeing it?

Brigitte Aschwanden presents a video where her interest on “noise” and silence turns these two elements into protagonists, so much so that they acquire a full discursive autonomy that structures the image in relation to sound. Patricija Gilyte proposes a visual metaphor in which the river offers the right space and setting to consider travelling and the role a person plays in it, being at once the observer and the observed. Rodolfo Green channels through a real character his life experience as an immigrant and his relationship with host cultures to talk about cultural stereotypes which, when understood, allow us to build personal relationships. Arvydas Zalpys works from his pictorial experience to present a tale about landscape and time using the analysis of language and deconstruction as conceptual tools.

The TPK offers screenings of work by several international artists. The programe has been put together jointly with the French collective DROPP and the OSTRALE in Dresden. The works shown will include screenings as well as video installations.

The work examines the relationship between the moving image and the fixed image. Starting from the idea to highlight some of the resources of cinema including sequence, editing, cutting and suspension of time and continuity, the artist presents a tour of the space, as opposed to a type of linear presentation with fixed duration often seen in the moving image. The piece invites us to position ourselves in the space in order to make our own sense of time and distance of the viewing.
